Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I created an Exploded View of my assembly, added annotations but when I created a Combined State for this, all my annotations disappeared.  What could be wrong?    

Hello forum,   I have already selected "German" in the Options at "Startup":   However, Creo View still starts in English all the time.   What do I do to change the UI language to "German"?

Hello Forum,   I have noticed that on my laptop in Creo View 6.1, assemblies are displayed rather pixelated (without any anti-aliasing).   However, on my desktop PC with the same version of Creo View, the models are displayed smooth and sharp with antialiased lines   Why is this different, and how can I get anti-aliasing also on the laptop?

Hello Community,   Is it possible to insert double mirroring in Freestyle. I want to develop a 4 corner symmetric bottle design, I am using a mirror, it only up to front and Back mirroring.   I want to develop only 1/4th of design and it should be symmetric to all direction.  

HI all, I have being using Creo 2/3 now for 2 years, Is there a simple way of only showing a few planes in assembly mode. I tried the layers but I have to go into each part and hide them form there, its a lot of clicking, I mean every part has 3 planes and 3 axis min, some of my assemblies have 50 + parts with lots of construction planes/axis. As an example, In solidworks/Inventor, all planes are off by default and you click the ones you want to show from the model tree. something like that would be nice and save lots of time /mistakes assembling to the wrong plane.Thanks in advance.Pat.

Because if you are right handed, when you are in a numerical value box anywhere in CREO, if you are at the end of the text, when you click and drag to the left to select text, your arm moves naturally through an arc down and to the left. But, the only way CREO can select text in a box is if you click and drag up and to the left (or down and to the right.)    

This was a nice overview we did a while back for how to use Excel Power Query to automatically catch problems with descriptions between Creo Parametric Models and ERP Cost Data.    Note: Nitro-BOM is used to facilitate the data extraction from Creo .. BUT the principles shown for Excel Power Query would work regardless of how you get the BOM Data.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE-SgnyH4zI

I exported DXF files of PCB shape with default settings(Exported .dwg files to .dxf). When these files were opened in Altium, the notes were missing. Needed help in understanding what settings are to be made so that the notes are seen in DXF file when opened in Altium.  

Hello, This topic is very closed to the Article - CS149279. I would like to know, how to propagate the three misc datas (COOLANT_OPTION, COOLANT_PRESSURE, SPINDLE_SENSE) specified in a tool to a sequence ? Thank you for your help.

Hi,   I have used simplified representations to "break" up a robotic arm in three sections that I assemble and then use mechanisms to animate the movement with server motors. If I then go to Applications -> Animation I get a warning that "Cannot enter Design Animation application with Graphics rep or Symbolic Rep. Does this mean that I can only use the limited animation functionality within the Mechanism application?   Also I try to change the background to white, but when I try to capture an animation I get the first fram with white background and the following have a white to blue transition background, similar to what the default background was 15 years ago.

Hi Forum,   I know that it is possible to transfer annotation sets that have been created in one assembly model, say in "ABC.ASM", to another assembly, say to "XYZ.ASM". To my knowledge, you can do that either in Windchill or in Creo.   Is such annotation set transfer also possible using Creo View? In particular, is it possible to transfer annotation sets from a PVZ file to a model that is stored in Windchill?   The use case is that team members without access to Windchill want to create annotation sets in a PVZ file, and these annotation sets shall later be transferred back to the server-stored assembly model in Windchill.   Thanks for any information on whether/how this is possible!

Hello,   What does it mean the red line under the annotation geometric tolerance?  Creo 6.0.4.0 Thanks 🙂

Hi Everyone,   I am trying to create a UDF that produces a part with a specific geometry and I also want to be able to change a variable parameter (Yes or No) on initiation of the UDF to toggle the suppression a specific feature.   I was able to create the UDF what produced the geometry I would like. I was also able to use Pro Program to toggle a feature based on a Yes/No parameter. Now, I am having trouble figuring out how to combine these.   Is this even possible to do?   On Creo 4.0 btw   Thank,   Jacob

I'm new to Creo but not to CAD. I often dimesion to the centerplane of a feature of size. I've been told that when creating a datum plane in Creo there is no option for datum centered between planes. I just want to verify that this is true and centerplanes must be created by using a relation or creating geometry at the center of my feature to use as reference.Very disappointed if this is the case.

Is there anyway to input a custom symbol into notes in a model? I can get a standard symbol to work (Standard1) but I cannot get a custom one to work using the &sym(Symbol_name) command.  

Hi all,   I ran into a frustrating issue on Friday afternoon where I restored a previous frame from my event log & then my entire workspace was gone/cleared. A run-down of the process:   -working on a specific part before lunch; saved part to workspace (did not upload), restarted computer while I made lunch   -approximately 30 minutes later, loaded saved part to session & noticed that none of the changes I previously made were there; checked event log to make sure save went through & found frame that confirmed save action happened   -clicked on "apply this event", waited, & was then asked to clear my session; hit yes, & then suddenly everything in my workspace was gone (all local/uploaded/modified changes lost)   Why in the world would this happen? I probably lost ~2 weeks of work because of this.   Thanks.   EDIT: Creo version 5.0.4 & Windchill version 11.0

Am I not understnding the syntax for allowing negative values? I get the following error   d22=asin(1.4607*sin(d21))errorInvalid attempt to assign negative value -0.875425deg to 'D22'. Precede the symbol with '$' to allow negative value.   but after adding $, I get the following error $d22=asin(1.4607*sin(d21))errorInvalid left side of assignment

I have been trying to use Creo Simulate Live, just to see how it works, but when I start a simulation, I don’t get any results (see picture below). I tried running the same setup in Creo Simulation and got it to display results in there. Am I missing something in Creo Simulate Live to show me the correct results?   I used a load of 25lbf down on the top, and fixed the bottom surface.    

Hello, I am currently designing a tambourine in Creo, when attatching the cymbals to a rod in the assembly I have cylinder constrained them. The problem I am having is that the cymbals are overlapping as they move along this rod - is there a way of constraining the cymbals to not overlap with each other as they move? The cymbals can all theoretically occupy the same space, I just don't want them to at the same time, any help on this would be greatly apprecfiated - cheers!    

Hello,   I want to ask if anyone know the relation between pixel unit and millimeter in Creo? I would like to set the radius of the ray line, but I don't know how to get the pixel value with mm size.  

Hello, I am trying to put together a tool path for a Makino A71 with the part rotating about the B axis while surface milling.  I have a pretty good understanding / experience with using this machine with sequences that reference individual coordinate systems that result in the B Axis being locked in different rotations under the same operation.  What I'd like to do is surface mill around a part that actively rotates while milling.   I've dabbled with some theoretical parts that were simple and everything appears to work OK in Vericut.  The part I'd like to machine has a very irregular surface and cannot be cut with a helical or trajectory path.  There doesn't seem to be much guidance available on this, through PTC, this site or youtube.  I am certain that there are PTC users out there that can do this with their machines.  If I accomplished it, it'd be a first for a user at my company.   Does anyone have any advice on how to make

Hi all, As usual, I find the 501.772mm default plane size too large. We had the planes resized down to 100 x 100 in our start part, but with the resize option checked the planes don't scale anymore.    Is there any way to change the default from 501 down to 100 but leave the resize box un-checked such that the planes scale to fit the part?    Unchecking the resize box leaves the size at 100 x 100 until I click OK, then it scales back up to 500mm odd.  Extruding a cube in the start part which every user would have to delete isn't exactly an elegant solution so I'm not keen on that approach. 

Gurus,In my assembly I replaced a screw with another which made my cross section fail. I get the following: "WARNING: highlighted loop in cross-section B may be incomplete." And the screw is red with no hatching. I open the screw part and try to put a x-section through it and I get the following: "Cross-section fails to intersect part." I verified the screw is a solid, tried .sat and .stp imports, and tried moving the x-section so it is offset from center. So what stops pro/e from cutting a cross section thru a part?Wildfire 4.0 Datecode m220Windchill PDMLink 10.0 Datecode m030Thanks,Eric

Hi,   How can I measure wire length between 2 location points? I am able to measure length of a segment but not between 2 location points of my choosing. I'm using Creo 4.0 cabling module.   Thank you.
